The Kwid looks WAY better. Even the Alto 800 and K10 look a lot better than this! Hats off Maruti, you’ve truly outdone yourselves this time! | |

| ![]() I believe the rear end would still look good in black though, where the plastic cladding would merge into the paint. The small tail lights would still be the design issue though. |

| ![]() My god! It is as if the designers were given a fixed quota of metal panels to use. As they started from the front and went towards the read, the quota was used up! Case in point, bulky bonnet design but that rear hatch looks like it ends at the thigh level! |

| ![]() Yuck! I thought the BMW i3 looked hideous (but later the design grew on me), but this one might take the world award for the "ugliest looking car". What is Maruti upto anyway? It's like the designer was pissed off with the company and gave his canvas to his primary school kid, and the process was repeated by the approver ![]() |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() From these spy pics it looks really hideous. Looks like they took an Alto, stretched it from the lower half and named it SUV. the huge bumpers, tall doors and the metal above the wheel just look so disproportionate. |

| ![]() Guess, the designer saw the Medplus ad where a Maruti 800 is jacked up after the customer gets 30% rebate in medicines. S-Presso is a jacked up Alto. Rear hatch, side profiles, windshield rake, tail lights are easy giveaways. Maruti has made less investment on the designs and stampings. High chances for the badging team to badge it Alto instead of S-Presso. ![]() The posts right from #126 have to be moved to the Wierd and Wacky mods thread (Pics of weird & wacky mod jobs in India!) Kwid is the winner for sure in this battle. |

The car looks as if it's floating on a black bed. ![]() Pretty bad design, even for Maruti's already mediocre standards. This screams "Wannabe Kwid"! | |

I mean, why else create NEXA? (that is a total different rant I can go on). As the brand improves, so will its market share, and that will prompt Maruti to invest more in the company. I'm sure, Maruti, if in the future conquers 3/4th of the market, it'll definitely like to hold on to that share. More investment = beter products. So, ultimately, both purists and mango people will get cars that have quality at a cheaper price. | |

Let's go with the Swift Sport as an example, whose direct competition would be the GT TSi. On an average, 1500 Polos are sold in a month, let's assume 40% of them are GTs, which is about 600 cars a month. Do you think for a sales number of 500 units per month (which is 500 new, potential customers as per you), Maruti would invest millions in bringing the Swift Sport to India? Quote:

| ![]() I hope that the title of the post is updated soon. This car has not got Alto branding anywhere. The new Alto is slated for 2021. |
